For this Mythic+ affix you should bring 2 tanks or a tank that can drop the stacks on his own (paladin), to make the healer not go oom on the first half of the boss, at least at higher difficulties (mythic +7 or higher).

If you are a DK tank and have Acherus Drapes , you can reset your Necrotic stacks whenever you use AMS as long as the AMS doesnt break due to damage. The bubble blocks new applications and lasts 10 seconds with the legendary (same as debuff duration), which can be extremely useful on bosses who dont stop to cast.

This mechanic can be brutal with the wrong dungeon/group composition.

However, I generally run Prot Warrior/Holy priest, and the following has worked consistently to drop stacks on certain pulls:* Priest pulls you from max distance* Heroic leap max distance (sometimes back to original spot)

As a healer, I love demon hunter tanks if they have the talent nether bond

The blight debuff from the Necrotic Mythic+ affix is called Necrotic Rot.

Since this affix is live again (on EU at least) I'm going to do some science and try Blessing of Spellwarding as a tool to drop stacks.EDIT: I did the science.Results:

It does not remove the stacks

However stack applying is supressed for the duration

Also you will not take DoT damage until blessing expires.

Difficult to make this compo in LFG, but if you're running with guildmates and don't have great gear, then I suggest going there with a paladin tank and an off-tank. A few weeks ago I did HoV +8, with teeming as a first affix. See the big 8/10 adds pack up the stairs after Hymdall? Palatank aggroes it, off tank is careful not to take aggro. When paladin hits 25/30 stacks, he bubbles up, off tank takes the aggro (as the second highest threat level). When off tank hits 25/30 stacks, paladin uses blessing of protection on the off tank to re-take aggro. Works like a charm.

Makes necrotic really anecdotic on bosses too, since you will just need to taunt the boss 2/3 times and that's it.

Only drawback to this is that you'll only have 2 dps, but if each manages to have more than 250k dps (plus the tanks have some damage too), then a +7/8/9 won't be a problem at all.

As a protection warrior, preety easy to deal with. Use Shockwave/Thunder Clap/Heroic Leap to deal with trash and keep your distance. Typically I do it around 10 stacks, more or less.

Leech ignores necrotic. As a DH tank I use soul rending, and then Fragment of the Betrayers prison and Fang of Tichondrius. I have 5% base leech from items, +15% during demon spikes and an additional 20% from the trinket, and then the 50% when in meta. This gives me when needed a total of 40% leech (1 min cd on trinket), going up to 90% in meta. With big trash pulls and an AOE build I can sustain myself in high mythic+ without really checking my stacks.
